Institutional Vibe
The apartment was not at the same level as other VRBO apartments where we have stayed. It was clean and orderly with three bedrooms with a small galley kitchen. However there was no common sitting area in the apartment. In the kitchen there was a table with a small TV six foot up on the wall. The table blocked entry to the kitchen and was not a good place to gather. There were three bathrooms, but one was added without a sanitary drain. It had a noisy grinder pump that turned on when water was used. We were told not to use this bathroom if the power was off. Also, there seemed to be an excessive number of warnings signs and house rules posted on several walls, this made the apartment feel more like institutional housing instead of a vacation rental. The location is within walking distance of the Vatican and several near by restaurants. Public transportation from this location to other sights in the city proved to be unreliable or slow, so we used Uber a lot to get around. Communication with the property owner and assistant was at their convenience. They insisted on a set time when you would arrive at and depart from the apartment. A delay on arrival initiated an angry call from the owner’s assistant.
